Barry realized he was bisexual after a very looong period of time of him doubting everything he had ever known.

It wasn't because Joe and Iris wouldn't accept him, it was because maybe he couldn't accept himself.

Because Barry "Of course I'm straight" Allen have been telling that lie for so long that he believed it, and discarded every thought other than friendly towards literally every person he met.

But the moment he realized was after Cisco started joking with him.

"Dude, you literally dropped everything to go to another city!" He teased him, holding his laughter while drinking his slushie.

"There's nothing deep about it, Oliver's a good friend" Barry smiled, taking it the importance.

"Oh! Oh!" Cisco dramatized while pressing his hands on the table "I'm getting a vibe!"

Barry immediately was walking towards him "What? What are you seeing?"

"Oh false alarm" he moved his hair to its place "It wasn't that kind of vibe" the speedster looked at him, confused "Just my gaydard screaming" he smirked at the flush of Barry's cheeks.

"Wh-What do you mean?" He instantly started to stutter.

"Oh come on dude, haven't you at least thought you might not be thaat straight?"

After a lot of tests and searching around in google, he was more than sure he wasn't straight.

And when he teamed again with Oliver, it all clicked.

Shit! He had a major crush on his vigilante partner.

When he came back from Star City, he arrived the cortex only to find Cisco and Caitlin working in something he didn't really care.

"How did it go with Mr. Queen?" the latino moved his eyebrows, suggestively.

Barry sat on the floor of the cortex, staring at the wall.

"Barry, are you okay?" Cait stopped what she was doing and walked towards the speedster.

"I like Oliver" he kept staring at the wall.

The cortex filled with a dead silence.

Before Cisco interrupted it "Yes!" he moved his hands, celebrating "Snow, pay up!" he pointed at her.

That brought Barry back to the reality.

"Did you jus-"

"I told Caitlin you were going to realize it very soon but she stated you will notice after like thirty years"

Now Barry looked at Caitlin.

"You can be pretty oblivious" she raised his shoulders.

"I mean, haven't you noticed how Oliver looks at you?"

Barry turned at Cisco so fast he almost broke his own neck.

"What?!" Cisco mutted him with his hand.

"Ok, we need to focus on this new plan: How can Oliver and Barry be together" He smiled.

"What If you just kiss him?" Caitlin asked, obvious, but with the looks on her teammates' face, she continued "Come on! Now we know Barry likes Oliver and we are pretty sure it's mutual"

"No we aren't" Barry almost shouted, panicking "And also, he thinks I'm straight"

"Then tell him you're not" said the latino while eating a red vine.

"Oh sure, what about "Hey Ollie, I noticed I'm bisexual as fuck and I like you a lot, let's date"? Is it enough direct for you?" he moved his hands exagerating.

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Cisco raised his hands in sign of peace.

"Okay, then show it" Cait intervened and looked at them "When the times were rough, lgbt people had their own signs to recognize each other, and as far as I know, Oliver's bisexual too, so he might recognize them" she moved her hands while explaining.

That night, Barry stayed up till 4 am searching in all sources he could found... even memes.

And the next week. he started to think about more and more excuses to team up with the emerald archer.

He's desperate, he has tried everything, literally e v e r y t h i n g, he has ever crossed through internet.

So after he decides to be agressive, he really hopes it works or he will be very embarassed.

When Oliver saw the speedster entering the coffee shop, he felt his jaw hurt after how hard it dropped.

But it was totally worth it when he saw Barry Allen, the Barry Allen that has been acting strange for like half a year or more, the Barry "Of course I'm straight" Allen, his Barry Allen; with high waisted jeans and a white crop top with a tiny rainbow in the pocket over his heart.

He avoided looking at him while he drank a sip of his coffee but it was a terrible idea when he almost choked because Barry decided to connect their eyes and smile.

Oliver loved his smiles, it made him feel at peace. However, at the moment he was feeling everything but at peace.

And his thoughts... oh lord. He thanked the universe Barry didn't get the ability to read minds because right now his thoughts weren't very innocent.

"What are you wearing?" Oliver finally asked with a smile on his face.

"Oh... I-" the speedster doubted for a second "This is Iris', I couldn't... do laundry this week" He smiled nervous, wanting to hit his head with the table repeatedly.

"Oh..." Oliver was literally speechless, he couldn't stop looking at the man in front of him.

And he thanked whoever was attacking the city because if he kept looking at him, he will end up kissing him.

And it will all be very awkward since Barry's straight. Right?

"Um yeah... there's someone... attacking Central City's bank, so I should go" he pointed at the exit very nervous while he stood up.

But he was in fact mad and embarassed, because Oliver just kept ignoring him and taking slow sips of his coffee and he only waited for that stupid drink to end so he could focus on him; but now there was a meta attacking his city and screwing his date with Oliver.

"Yeah, you should" he nodded at he saw him turning around and leaving. Two seconds later he reacted and went behind him "You know what?" He grabbed Barry's shoulder "I think I can go and... you know... watch you make your move"

Barry's excited smile came again as they were out of Jitters and walking in the alley. Oliver couldn't resist anymore and slammed the younger man against a wall; but Barry was who wrapped his arms around the archer's neck and kissed him.

Disagreeing with his body, the blue eyed man stopped the kiss "Are you sure you want this? I mean... you're straight"

Barry rolled his eyes "Ollie, shut the fuck up" he pulled the blonde again to his lips.

They really don't know how many hours they spent but the only thing that could interrupt them was an incoming insistent call from Cisco.

Barry finally answered and before he could say anything, Cisco demanded "Both of you. Cortex. Right now!"

Oliver, who heard everything due to how close they were, couldn't help but smile and kiss Barry again.

This exact moment, he thought, was the first time he ever felt this happy.

At the cortex, Oliver was still wrapping Barry's hips with his arms.

"Where were you?!" Frost yelled.

Cisco who seemed very serious before looking at the detail, sighed and covered his face "While you two lovebirds were busy, Frost, Ralph and I saved the entire city!"

"But you did it!" Barry raised his hands, trying to congratulate them.

None of them knew who wanted to punch Barry more.

"I really hope it was worth it" Cisco mumbled with his face still covered.

Yes, this is inspired in the 1D song. Yes, this is very fluffy. Yes, I'm crying :)

When Felicity asked Oliver who was the lucky girl to be in the vigilante's mind, he looked very confused.

The only girls he had contact with right now were Felicity and Laurel, and none of them were in his mind.

But when he denied it, she didn't believed him.

"Oh come on, you have been all thoughtful and smiley, and there are times where you don't even pay attention to me" Felicity raised an eyebrow, suspicious "Don't you dare lie to me!" he pointed at him with her finger, judging him.

Oliver raised his hands "It's true" then he put them down and frowned "Also, I'm always thoughtful"

"But you barely smile enough, now you are all smiley and sunshine, you even begin to look like Barry"

As the mention of that name, his mind instantly brought an image of that brunette kid.

The kid that has also been in his mind since he saw the news about "the Flash".

"Aha! There it is again! Maybe it's someone from Central..." Felicity stopped talking suddenly and it seemed like she freezed for a whole minute.

"What?" he asked desperate for all of this questioning to end.

"You like Barry"

Oliver almost choked.

"What?!" he laughed sarcastically.

"You don't just like Barry, you're fully into him" she pointed, almost as if she was entering to a new reality where everything was more clear.

"I don't- I'm not- Barry? Seriously?"

"Oh my god!" she covered her mouth "Oh my god! How mad Barry was about your training when you two fought, how Barry didn't want to say goodbye to none of us after your whole "who would win" thing, what happened there?"

Oliver was screwed.

"We kissed, okay? I kissed him the first time, and I stopped him both" he sighed as he closed his eyes, remembering.

"Both?! Are you kidding me? Why would you do that? Have you seen Barry? He's probably the best guy ever" Felicity said frustrated as she moved her hands "However, how did it happened? When did you got close to him or what...?"

"Remember when he came to Star City to ask me for help after he woke up from the coma?" she nodded "Well, he may have... stayed at my place that night" now it seemed like her eyes were about to pop off her face "He literally run milles to come here and he didn't ate anything so he was almost passing out"

"You are telling me he, not only came here just to ask you for help, but you had dinner together? and then he stayed in your place?!"

"Yes Felicity, that's exactly what I'm telling you" he sighed while he looked down to his shoes, praying to the universe to stop with this conversation.

"And you weren't going to tell me?!" she almost yelled "Why the hell did you stopped him?"

"I don't know! I don't want to hurt his feelings" he stopped to think about what was he saying "I don't even know If I like him" now he whispered.

"Well, spoiler alert, you do" the blonde rolled her eyes, wanting to hit him in the head so bad "Have you seen yourself lately? You literally can't not smile at the simple mention of him, come on, if you kissed him first, there should be at least one reason why you are attracted to him"

Barry's image came to his mind again.

"I think... it's the little things, you know" Oliver thought about the smile the green eyed man gave, which he hoped would be especially for him "His smile" it almost sounded as a question.

"Come on Oliver, think harder" Felicity pressured.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Partners?" he smiled very excited while he extended his hand.

"Partners" Oliver stretched his hand and smiled too, thinking how both hands fitted perfectly, as If they were made for each other.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Oliver watched as Barry took his shirt off, showing the now scars of the arrows he shoot him.

"It should have been recovered by now, maybe there's a piece of arrow still in my back, I think I can feel it" Barry murmured in pain.

Oliver approached to cure him, and he saw those little freckles in his back.

For a second, he let himself lose in the moment, joining up the dots as if they were constellations.

For a second, it all made sense to him

Then, the next thing he remembers is kissing Barry.

A slow kiss that seemed like an eternity, like it was meant to be.

And none of them wanted to stop it, until Oliver came back to the reality.

What was he doing?

"Oh, I'm so sorry" Oliver started to apologize, wanting to run out of there.

"It's okay" Barry calmed him, while having the biggest smile the archer has ever seen in him.

His smile was so big that made it appear little crinkles by his eyes; Barry instantly covered them, apparently, he didn't like them.

But Oliver loved them.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

When Barry and Oliver arrived the archer's place after having dinner in Big Belly Burger, the new speedster sat on the couch while the other went to the kitchen.

"Oliver, I can go home, it's okay" Barry insisted for the almost twentieth time that night.

"Barry, you almost passed out in my arms, you need rest so tomorrow you can go back to your city and be the hero you always wanted to be" He stated, making him know he couldn't argue "Anyways, do you want to drink something?"

Instantly, Barry was on the kitchen with him, making Oliver jump with surprise. It was still weird for him.

"Um yes... do you have tea?" Oliver turned to look at him, weirded out.

"After all the burgers you ate, and you are going to drink tea now? Feeling fitness?" He teased, repressing his laughter.

"It's not about that, you idiot" He laughed "I can't go to bed without a cup of tea, it relaxes me"

"Okay, Mr. British, I..." opened one of the cabinets to see that box of tea bags Thea bought last week for him "Have this" he showed them.

"Oh, I love those!" He jumped excited.

He nodded and put the water to boil.

"Ok, so now I have to bring the blankets and everything so we can stay here in the couch..."

"We?" Barry interrupted him.

"Of course, we don't know how your powers work yet, what if you start running asleep or something?"

"Oh so we are having a hero sleepover" Barry teased him "Let's make it a tradition" He laughed. Oliver was really talking to a kid.

He sighed as he squeezed his nose with his fingers.

"Anyways, I'm going for the blankets" he started walking to the stairs.

"Where are they?"

"In the wardrobe next to my room"

Then he felt a gust of wind and the next second his couch seemed like a perfect and comfy bed.

"Ready" He smiled while staring at him.

"Ok, now that is annoying" He pointed at him and laughed.

And hours later, Barry fell asleep in the middle of the movie they were watching, making Oliver laugh internally because "I never fell asleep in movies Ollie, how dare you?"

And all he could think about was that nickname in the speedster's lips. Because for the first time, he didn't associate it with the island, he associated it with that smiley little brunette sleeping next to him.

He thought about it so much that for a moment he could even hear it.

"Ollie" Barry muttered.

"What?" Oliver turned to look at him, but he was still with that peaceful face that signed he was still asleep.

"Ollie" Barry muttered again.

Oliver laughed silently, noticing he was talking asleep.

"What?" he muttered again.

"Don't tell Ollie, but I think he can inspire too, he's an inspiration to me" Barry mumbled and turned to the other side.

Oliver smiled, thinking he would do what he asked and keep that conversation in secret for everyone.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Ollie c'mon, we've been doing this for hours, it's a tie get over it" Barry teased him

"Tired, Flash?" he smirked.

"You asked for it" he began to run towards him again.

And it wasn't that hard for the speedster to tackle him, after all, Oliver was still human and he was exhausted, but he won't give up that easily; he tackled Barry too and they fought on the floor.

Until the moment Barry ended up above him, laughing while he had his hands locked up with only one of his.

Oliver wasn't a good loser, but this time he accepted it only for the sight of Barry like that.

And the green eyed man stared at him as he saw a smile appear in his lips. The next thing he knew, he was kissing those lips, surprising the archer.

It took a moment for Oliver to react and continue the kiss.

A kiss that felt like an eternity, an eternity neither of them wanted to end.

But it was Oliver who did it.

"Barry... I'm sorry... I- I can't..." the vigilante muttered.

And the brunette stood up immediately.

"I understand, you don't really like me, do you?" He stared at him expectant "Of course you don't, why would you though? I'm just an ordinary scientist who just happened to got struck by lightning" he mumbled so fast he almost didn't understand.

"No, it's not you" all the words got stuck in his throat as a lot of feelings were in his mind.

"Of course it's me, I'm such an idiot, why would you even care?"

He wanted to tell him how perfect he was, how the problem was him and how he didn't want to hurt him. But he only managed to whisper "Barry..."

"Save it, Oliver" he ran away from there way to his city.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Oliver..." Felicity almost wanted to palm her face. Oliver put his head up, waiting for her to talk when he noticed his cheeks were hurting.

He had been smiling while counting all the things he loved about Barry.

Loved...

"Oliver. Jonas. Queen." she approached him very slowly with probably the most scary face she has ever done "You better get your billionaire ass on a train way to Central City right now or the League of Assasins would be the less of your problems" she pointed at him.

"And what am I supposed to tell him?" he moved his hands in frustration.

"Oh, I don't know! How about "I'm sorry for being a jerk, I love you, let's kiss"!" she acted very desperate.

"Felicity, I can't just go back to there and tell him that!"

"Oh yes you can and you will" she pushed him to the exit "And you better not come back until you have told him or I won't let you in"

"Felicity..."

"Go, now"

When he arrived Central City, he felt very lost for the first time in years, he didn't know where to find him since he didn't want to explain to his team nor his best friend/sister/whatever what was Oliver Queen doing a random friday in Central City.

He was infinitely thankful when Felicity texted him she hacked the speedster's phone and found him in the West house.

"Olli- Oliver... What are you doing here?" Barry's eyes seemed like they were about to pop off his face as the sight of the blue eyed man in his old house's porche.

"Can i talk to you for a sec?"

Barry looked back at Joe putting the plates on the table while Iris and Eddie chatted with him and helped with the dinner; took his jacket and went out with him.

As the weirded look in Oliver's eyes, he explained "Family dinner"

Oliver nodded "It's okay, we can talk another time" he turned around, ready to ran away from there.

"If you went all the way from Star City in your bike just to talk, it must be important" Barry stopped him.

"Yes" he grimaced before turning around again "I just wanted to... apologize for... you know" he scratched his neck, nervous.

Why did he had to listen to Felicity?

"No, I don't" he said obvious.

"I wanted to apologize for being a jerk, I shouldn't have let you ran away that day" the archer sighed "You were wrong. Of course I would notice you, you have been extraordinary even before that lightning struck you; of course I did notice you, you haven't left my mind since you entered to Queen Consolidated that day" Oliver inhaled, taking the courage he needed "And you were wrong because I do love you" he exhaled, feeling the weight leave his shoulders.

"Bu- No... You can't-" Barry was terrified it all ended up as just a bad joke.

Oliver sighed again "What can I do for you to believe me? I love you, I love when you're so happy it shows the crinkles by your eyes when you smile, I love your freckles, I love how you talk in your sleep, I love how much faith you have in me, even more than I do; what can I do for you to understand? I love all these little things 'cause it's you they add up to, and I'm in love with you" He stated, never feeling so sure in his life about something than right now.

And Barry was speechless, because he loved him too since they met but he wasn't as good with words as Oliver.

So he kissed him.

A not so alternate universe since maybe it was something that happened but since cw hates us, they decided to cut the scene because it wasn't relevant to Oliver's plot. (Also I literally thought this was canon so maybe I dreamed it(?)

Oliver knew he had been rude with the kid but he lied, what if he was looking for the vigilante? What if he thought he was too smart to figure it out who was the vigilante and expose him? After all, he was just a CSI assistant, maybe he wanted more.

That's the thought he kept in mind while confronting that brown haired kid, but he wasn't expecting his reaction at all. He thought the vigilante... him, was a hero; he came here to ask him for help to find something impossible.

But the look in his eyes when he defended his father... It made him feel like a punch on his stomach, like a presure on his chest that was making it very difficult to breath.

He felt bad, he felt guilty, in a weird way he had never experienced before; like he wanted to shot an arrow at himself for making those happy eyes he has been looking at since the green eyed man arrived to QC, fill with rage and sadness. And when Felicity confronted him, it just made all worse.

He thought that would be the last time he would see Barry Allen.

But before starting to get ready, he came up with a brilliant idea that would make Felicity stop being mad at him and seeing the scientist one last time before he went back to Central City.

When the moment arrived, he was really nervous the brunette wouldn't show up, but it would be a miracle since he only texted him "You are still Felicity's +1 and she wants you here"

"Time for a dance?" he asked suddenly, hoping at least it would make the time go faster.

"Not really feeling like dancing with you, Oliver"

"I know, that is why..." he turned slowly at the sound of the door closing, watching the green eyed man standing there very nervous and lost "I called him"

Felicity turned in the same direction and they saw how Barry sighed as he found them.

Oliver couldn't hide a tiny and short smile at this adorable sight.

"FYI, they will card him at the bar" he whispered in her ear as he left the blonde with her date.

When Oliver approached the bar for drinks for her sister, he saw the kid again arguing with the barman because he left his ID in his hotel room.

"You know..." he almost laughed "It's illegal to drink alcohol underage" now he talked to the barman "But I'll take them"

Immediately, the barman turned to prepare the alcoholic drinks.

Barry just puts his head down, embarassed.

"I don't know how I could forgot my ID, I think Felicity will hate me for ruining this"

"It's okay" he looked over to see her sister and the blonde talking "She will be fine" he stopped for a moment, not knowing how to start "I wanted to apologize..." said suddenly "For... you know..."

"Accusing my dad of a crime he did not commit as everyone else?" he suppressed a smile "I got used to it..."

"No, but... I'm really sorry, I just..." all the words got stuck down his throat "I don't trust easily. I have met people who look like you, nice, innocent, like a good person... but before you know it, they will stab you at the back" Oliver really didn't know why was he telling all of these "But you... you really are a good man, Barry Allen, and If you say it was something that may seem impossible and your dad didn't do it, I believe in you"

Barry was truly speechless, he never thought he would hear something like that nor from Oliver Queen himself.
